Drab Majesty
Unarian Dances
Drab Majesty's first ever release was the 2012 self-released cassette tape "Unarian Dances". Originally limited to 100
copies, tracks from this tape would eventually make their way onto the Completely Careless CD collection as bonus cuts.
Now, along with the "Unknown to the I" 12" also released on March 26, these songs are finally made available on vinyl in
45 RPM 12" format, bringing all early Drab Majesty material from the Careless era (2012-2015) to vinyl. Mastered by Josh
Bonati with beautiful new packaging by Nathaniel Young.Drab Majesty is the project of Deb DeMure, the androgynous
alter-ego of L.A.-based musician Andrew Clinco and partner Mona D. With its combination of reverb-drenched guitars,
synth bass lines, commanding vocals, and rhythmic drum machine beats, this project is a stark departure from Clinco's
previous stints as drummer in Marriages and Black Mare. Dubbed "Tragic Wave" and "Mid-Fi" by DeMure, Drab Majesty
eloquently blends classic 80s New Wave and hints of early 4AD with a futuristic originality. kkA talented
multi-instrumentalist, DeMure composes all of the elements of Drab Majesty. However, rather than taking personal credit
for the music, DeMure insists that the inspiration for the songs is received from an other-worldly source and that Deb
is merely a vessel through which outside ideas flow inward. But Drab Majesty is more than just a musical project - its a
methodical experiment in the identity of creativity. The character Deb DeMure is an enigma that eludes all expectations
of gender and ego. When DeMures imposing 6' 4" figure assumes the stage, Deb's playful, harlequin-esque appearance,
tempered by an ominous body language, and clashing with the dreamy, ethereal melodies comes across as a web of
contrasts. The result is a perfect balance between seemingly conflicting messages, between the high and the low, the
drab and the divine.
